the first person i looked for was john kerry and then john mccain. they said yes, there is a hold but we're trying to work through it. i said, you know, if you can't get this done and done quickly, then i think there has to be a speech on the floor that said holding pete peterson in a p.o.w. camp for five years is bad enough, but the senate holding his nomination as ambassador is unforgivable. we need to vote on pete peterson. he's given so much to this country. well, it's a credit to john kerry and john mccain that they quieted down this new member of the senate, said let us get this done quietly, and they did. pete peterson went on to serve as ambassador in vietnam. he was a widower at the time and met a lovely young woman, an australian woman, vietnamese-australian woman. they are married. they now live in australia. we keep in touch from time to time. i think of that moment in time in our history when john kerry and john mccain really showed what diplomacy and careful consideration can do. we not only established relations with vietnam, we sent a

john connolly himself was very helpful to me. he had a great ranch in south texas with a stable of quarter horses, used to come to the guest house where i would stay very early in the morning, 5:30 or 6:00 and we would go and sit on the top railing of the fence watching the mexicans exercise the quarter horses and he would tell me about -- he answered almost every question that i asked about anything in johnson's career but took me through the assassination in great detail. among the things he said was everybody thought when they heard the shots that with the motorcycle backfire or that it was a balloon going off for a firecracker but he said i was a hunter. i knew the instant i heard that it was the crack of a hunting rifle. i talked to everyone who was with lyndon johnson in the hospital, still alive, who was in hospital with lyndon johnson, congressman jack brooks, lyndon johnson's secretary, kennedy, secretary, i have learned there always seems to the other sources that have been overlooked. when i was doing this, suddenly i
